Putting Off-Track Youths Back on Track to College

Back on Track, developed by Jobs for the Future, is a design for schools to not only re-engage off-track and out-of-school youths to graduate from high school, but also to put them on a clear, supported path to a college education. Two schools that have combined Back on Track with the early college model, in which students can earn both a high school diploma and an associate's degree or up to two years of credit toward a bachelor's degree, are profiled.
